IMPROVEMENT IN lRONlNG-TABLES.

Specification forming part of Letters Patent N 0. 175,459, dated March 28, 1876; application filed January 22, 1876.,

To all whom it may concern: 7

Be it known that I, ZEBINA M. HIBBARD, of Freeport, in the county of Stephenson, and in the State of Illinois, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Ironing- Tables; and do hereby declare that the following is a full, clear, and exact description thereof, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, and to the letters of reference marked thereon, making a part of this specification.

The nature of my invention consists in the construction and arrangement of an ironingboard with suitable supports, and connected to a table by a shouldered bar and cam-lever, as will be hereinafter more particularly set forth.

In the accompanying drawings, making part of this specification, Figure 1 represents a perspective view of the ironing-board and sleeve-hoard connected and arranged upon a table. Fig. 2 is a perspective of the ironing board and sleeveboard connected and secured to a wall. Fig. 3 is a bottom view of the under side of the ironing-board, and Fig. 4 a view of the legs which support one end of the board.

In the drawings, A represents the ironingboard, which is made in the usual shape, and which is provided at one end with two metallic bars, 0, upon its upper side. At right angles to and projecting above these bars at their outer ends are two pins, e e. In Fig. 2, J represents a plate made of metal, which is secured to the wall, and which is provided with two eyes, into which the pins 0 0 take for the purpose of securing the board to the wall. 0 represents the legs which support the under side of the board at any suitable point. G represents the sleeve-board. This board G is made of suitable size for slipping over it the sleeves of any kind of garments to be ironed, and it is hinged at one end to the ironing-board in such a manner that it can be raised up out of the way at any time it may be desirable. g represents the legs, which are securedto the under side of the sleeve-board, for supporting it beyond its hinge.

When it is desirable to secure the ironingtable to a common table, I use a pronged inetallic bar, a, which is provided with eyes, which fit over the pins 6 0. This bar has a shoulder at 00, which fits upon the upper side of the table, while it has connected to it below said shoulder a cam-lever, which works in such a manner as to clamp the table-top between itself and the shoulder at x. In Fig. 3, which represents the under side of the ironing-board, D represents a stationary short support, which is used upon an ordinary table, while H H represent two half-hinges, which fit the corresponding halves upon the legs 0, which said legs are used to support the board when it is connected to a wall.

Having thus fully described my invention, what I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is-

The ironing-board A, provided with suitable supports, and connected to the table B by means of the bar a, with its shoulder and camlever, as and for the purpose set forth.

In testimony that I claim the foregoing I have hereunto set my hand this 18th day of. December, 1875.
